About me

Hi, I'm Jerine

Before Psychology

My journey to becoming a therapist wasn't a straight line, and I'm grateful for that.

The Turn

I started out as a lawyer. I did my BA LLB (Hons) and worked at Anand Rathi Wealth Limited as an Estate Planning Lawyer, drafting wills and trusts for HNI clients. It was stable, it paid well — and on paper, it was "the safe choice."

But something was missing. While I'm grateful for that experience, I realized my heart was always in understanding people, not just paperwork.

I've always been fascinated by emotions, people, personality, and behavior patterns — what makes us human. Law gave me logic and structure. What I was craving was connection.

During law school and my time at Anand Rathi, it became clear: I didn't want to spend my life doing work that didn't light me up inside. So I made a brave — and a little scary — decision.

I changed paths completely.
